Described as archetypes, labyrinths are divine imprints found in religious traditions around the world.  Unlike a maze with its many choices, entrances, cul-de-sacs and dead ends, a labyrinth instead is a spiritual journey-offering one path.  Inspired by the resurgence of enthusiasm over the past dozen years or so for this ancient tool for meditation and prayer, Danville's reenergized YWCA offers community "pilgrims" an experience patterned after the classic eleven-circuit labyrinth laid into the floor of Chartes Cathedral, near Paris, around 1220.  The YW labyrinth, only a bit smaller than the one at Chartes, spans a 36-foot diameter in the YW's Great Room.  It was carefully executed in paint under the direction of Outdoor Designs.  This Danville-based hardscaping/landscaping firm, owned by Fred and Laura Meder, also has wide experience elsewhere installing labyrinths in traditional unit pavers, not unlike the stone-paved labyrinths of Medieval Europe.
